The 2013–14 Detroit Pistons season was the 73rd season of the franchise, the 66th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 57th in the Detroit suburban area. In the off-season, the Pistons hired former player Maurice Cheeks as their head coach as well re-acquiring former Finals MVP Chauncey Billups. John Loyer replaced Cheeks mid-season. Following the season, Billups retired and Joe Dumars left his position as General Manager after 15 seasons.
